Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Bridgewater who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
